Touch controls Emulating Keystroke

Is it possible lets say

The character controlers have basic setup WASD for movement and Space for jump

Im trying to figure out a way to make it so

Lets say i got a GUI that is intended for my character jump in game
can i assign so that when GUI texture is pressed it emulates a keystore in this case SPACE

 

Yes it is possible and there are many ways to do it. I use compiler/preprocessor directives to add the input controller needed for different platforms in my game.

eg :

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class InputManager : MonoBehaviour {
5.    
6.    
7.     public static InputControllerBase inputController;
8.    
9.    
10.    
11.     void OnEnable () {
12.        
13.         #if UNITY_STANDALONE_OSX || UNITY_STANDALONE_WIN || UNITY_WEBPLAYER || UNITY_FLASH         
14.             inputController = gameObject.AddComponent<MouseKeyboardInput>();           
15.         #endif
16.        
17.         #if UNITY_IOS || UNITY_ANDROID         
18.             inputController = gameObject.AddComponent<TouchInput>();
19.         #endif
20.        
21.         ProcessManager.processItems.Add(inputController);
22.    
23.     }
24.    
25.    
26. }

 

Thanks shaderbytes!
How to specify the button we want to be pressed using your piece of code? I would need the right arrow key to be pressed when I press on a GUI texture.
Please help
